CONTROL//ALTERNATE\\DELETE
Choreographed by: Nicki Miller
For one semester in grad school, my only assignment to myself was to go into the studio twice a week and experiment with whatever wanted to happen through me that day. Not what I thought I was supposed to do, or what looked like other people’s processes, but what wanted to happen through me. This is what happened.

An aerial dance, puppetry, and physical theatre performance that asks: What do we do when our bodies become strangers to our souls?
“According to quantum mechanics there is no such thing as objectivity. We cannot eliminate ourselves from the picture.
We are a part of nature, and when we study nature there is no way around the fact that nature is studying itself.
Physics has become a branch of psychology, or perhaps the other way around.” - Gary Zukov
